By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

I'll check in my PDR ( 2013) for the drugs known as Detrol and Vesicare.
I agree with KeepontryintM. There are tangible and real benefits from being able to manage the frequent need to pee. And, by the way, this is NOT "incontinence." The urge is still there and can be controlled for at least a short period of time. It is just increased frequency. It would be ridiculous to insist on a disposable undies 24/7, in my opinion. Should pregnant women wear Depends? They don't need a drug because they are young, they are capable of scoping out where the bathrooms are everywhere they go, and they can waddle pretty fast if they have to. Also they know the problem will clear itself up in a few months. But when the problem is even more severe and will not clear up on its own in a few months, as is the case for many women and more elderly, then some medical intervention may be warranted.
Detrol worked for my husband. His geriatrician was always VERY careful to monitor side effects and to choose the lesser of the evils, so to speak. When trying a drug known to have side effects it is necessary to keep careful watch and to be prepared to adjust doses or to discontinue.
One size never fits all when it comes to drugs.
And for those of us who are younger Kegel exercises!
The condition is a normal part of growing elderly. That said, and accepted, be prepared to use adult diapers, day and night, change frequently and don't try to stop it with Vesicare or any other drug. Remain near a potty ( as all elderly patients should do) and accept life in its final stages!
